Abstract: The present invention describes a novel process for preparing 3-chloro-2-vinylphenol which, owing to the chemoselectivity achieved, also allows direct conversion into (3-chloro-2-vinylphenyl)methane-sulphonate.

Abstract: A motor includes a rotor having a plurality of pole magnets angularly spaced about the rotor's rotational axis through an angle of 360°, and a stator including a plurality of windings angularly spaced about the rotational axis through an angle less than 360° to provide an angular section free of windings, wherein at least one of the plurality of pole magnets is not radially opposite any of the plurality of windings at any given rotational position of the rotor. The motor is designed for use in powering a horizontal blade reel of a cylindrical lawn mower, and includes a housing having a cross-sectional shape in the form of a chord-truncated circle, such that the housing has a flat portion corresponding to the angular section free of windings. The truncated motor housing avoids unattractive “layover” of grass during mowing.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for allocating and managing table and seating inventory at commercial establishments, such as restaurants. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method receives a first request to allocate table inventory at a commercial establishment. In some aspects, the first request may include a first party size and a first requested time. Based on a received request, the method may determine a mode of allocation associated with the commercial establishment. The method may identifying one or more first units of table inventory capable of accommodating the first party size at the first requested time. In certain aspects, the identification may be based on at least the determined allocation mode.

Abstract: A series of fused bicyclic heteroaromatic derivatives of formula (IA) or (IB), as defined herein, being selective inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase III? (PI4KIII?) activity, are beneficial in the treatment and/or prevention of various human ailments, including inflammatory, autoimmune and oncological disorders; viral diseases and malaria; and organ and cell transplant rejection.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to improved processes for the preparation of amphiphilic imidazolinium compounds such as 1-[2-(9(Z)-octadecenoyloxy)ethyl]-2-(8(Z)-heptadecenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)imidazolinium chloride (DOTIM). In particular, the invention relates to processes for the synthesis of such compounds that avoid the need for toxic reagents, are more economical, and result in less waste than conventional methods. DOTIM and similar compounds can be formulated as cationic liposomes, which are useful as chemical vectors for nucleic acid delivery in gene therapy.
